booksny 's review for:

Wolf by Gillian Cross
5.0
challenging emotional tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really enjoyed this - it packed a powerful emotional punch. Loved the complex dynamics and flawed humanness of the characters - Cassy felt like such a parentified thirteen-year-old, Nan, Lyall and Goldie cared for her but interacted with her as they would an adult. Loved the hint of surreal which came with the wolves.
